The main character is Takumi Fujiwara. He is the protagonist who drives the AE86 and is a very skilled street racer. Another important character is his father, Bunta Fujiwara. Bunta has a big influence on Takumi's driving skills.
The 'Initial D Graphic Novel' has several key characters. Takumi Fujiwara is the protagonist. He has a natural talent for driving and gradually becomes more confident in his racing abilities. Ryosuke Takahashi is a significant rival. He is highly respected in the racing community. Then there's Bunta Fujiwara, Takumi's father. He has some mysterious past related to racing and has passed on some of his skills and knowledge to Takumi, either directly or indirectly. And of course, there are Takumi's friends like Itsuki who add a different dimension to the story, with their own dreams and interests in the racing world.
Initial D is purely fictional. It was created by the author's imagination and doesn't draw from real events or people. The characters and the races are all made up for entertainment.
I recommend "Walking in the Heavens". This book is a novel about the infinite heavens. The protagonist, Xie Yu, enters a strange world with the help of the "gourd imprint" and obtains self-improvement. The first world was Initial D, and later on, it would involve stories from other worlds. If you like this kind of novel, this book will make you addicted.๐I hope you like this fairy's recommendation.
